Grill'd, South Melbourne

278 Clarendon Street
South Melbourne
VIC 3205

We popped into the Grill'd on Clarendon street in South Melbourne on a sunny Sunday lunchtime. There were people eating inside and at the tables on the street. It was the first time I tried any of the chain's stores, partly because the better half had won a two for one voucher.

The fit out inside was bright and modern, with a bit of an industrial feel, and plenty of menu options up behind the counter.

We both ended up deciding on veggie options. The Field of Dreams burger enclosed a grilled field mushroom, basil pesto, roasted peppers, tasty cheese, salad and herbed mayo. It seemed to eat well, although the mushroom provided quite a bit juice that leaked out! The thick-cut chips were crisp on the outside and soft inside and sprinkled with a tasty salt and thyme mix.

I had the Bombay bliss burger, filled with a chickpea pattie, roasted peppers, tzatziki, salad and relish. The burger was a little crunchy on the outside unusually for a pulse based burger, but held together pretty well and was complemented by the other components.

The service was pretty efficient and although the burger didn't quite reach the level of Jerry's masterpiece, but I'd happily have another...
